45GCT > Connecticut

45GCT is a residential project composed of two shifting parallel bars facing Long Island Sound. The two bars are linked by a grand spiral staircase which marks the entry into the home. The east elevations are entirely glazed to maximize of the water. The disintegration of the formal structure into the organic landscape is connected by continuous views to the Sound.

PRU Office > Stamford, Connecticut

The renovation of the Prutting & Co Custom Builders office investigates the intersection of old forms with new forms. The facade as a skin wraps the building in vertical louvers. Another layer of skin, the fence, wraps the perimeter of the site, creating an interior courtyard.

T(EA) House > Connecticut

The T(EA) House, in Connecticut, sits on a long, linear lot that reaches out toward views of the Long Island Sound. Three volumes (“primitives”), similar in size, are linked together by a sculptural staircase, the middle volume pivoting 90 degrees at the intersection of landscape and building and producing the T shaped form. Throughout the assembly and material selection, the T(EA) House is carefully conceived as a passive house, following LEED requirements and resulting a low energy building.

Stone Acres Farm > Stonington, Connecticut

The Stones Acres Farm is a project, in collaboration with Reed / Hilderbrand, that exists at the intersection of many eras and many places. As a residence, it includes a series of buildings dating back to the middle of the eighteenth century, tied together by a rich cultural tapestry with deep family roots in the town of Stonington. As a working farm, Stone Acres has been powered by technological innovation of agriculture, engineering and commerce. “Sea to Farm to Community Table” campus for sustainable living, rooted in practices conceived through a deep and abiding commitment to connect community to its local, natural and human resources. The primary organizing agent for the design concept is the primary road, or pentway, which cuts through the architectural, landscape and farm operation zones.

Kimbell Art Museum > Louis Kahn > Fort Worth, Texas

The Kimbell Art Museum designed in 1972 by Louis Kahn is a series of 16 parallel vaulted galleries linked by strings of natural light. These beautiful strips of light are created by overlapping and offsetting two cycloid curves. Kahn explores a neutral color palette using travertine and marble to exaggerate lighting.

Nasher Sculpture Center > Renzo Piano > Dallas, Texas

The Nasher Sculpture Center, adjacent to the Dallas Museum of Art, displays modern and contemporary sculptures by incorporating an experience that overlaps indoor galleries with outdoor garden spaces.

Perot Museum of Nature and Science > Morphosis Architects > Dallas, Texas

Inspired by the program, the Perot Museum integrates architecture, nature, and technology into the design. Morphosis floats a large cube above a plinth articulating the urban context. The dynamic landscaped plinth ungulates and curves to form a geometric primitive courtyard at the entrance. A diagonal glass cased escalator penetrates through the skin of the building to filter light, while also exposing circulation onto the facade.

Dee and Charles Wyly Theater > OMA > Dallas, Texas

The Dee and Charles Wyly Theater, by OMA in 2009, is a series of vertically stacked programs into an extruded box. Appearing to be confined to the vertical metal rods on the facade, the program penetrates through the facade and into the urban community. Performances can choose to incorporate urban views of the skyline or streetscape into the theater experience, providing flexibility.
